i think for folks to get so offended by this is positively rediculous. the organization targets a younger audience for a purpose. EARLY good habits of healthy living are so much more important than waiting until its a serious risk. i think their idea is ingenius and it gets the younger sect talking about a very importnt subject

im planning on buying a few of these bracelets myself to give to my girls and friends to wear and support an important cause.
do you find them offensive? would you wear one yerself? or are you among the bible belt prudes that still want such topics left hush-hush?

I think the word boobies on the bracelet is pretty crass and demeaning for women and young girls. no I would not wear one. I think that the organization could come up with a better term for the bracelets. The idea is a good one but it needs a better term.
Teen age boys are pretty crass any way and the school was right to ask the girls to either wear them inside out or not to wear them to school at all since they were interrupting the class.

According to the article the bracelets WERE cause classes to be disrupted.
Principal Ryan Stevens told the Kitsap Sun that the "boobies" reference was causing problems in classrooms as it provoked some students to make inappropriate gestures and comments, the AP reports.
